Car thief steals SUV with 10-month old baby inside

Police have apprehended a car thief who sped away from a West Seattle convenience store Wednesday afternoon (Aug. 27) after stealing an SUV with a 10-month-old child inside.

The suspect fled the store – located in the 1600 block of SW Holden Street – in a black Ford Edge SUV just after 3:15 p.m., and headed south toward White Center.

Nineteen minutes after police began searching for the suspect, King County Sheriff’s Deputies and Seattle police found the SUV and the child – who was okay – parked near 8th Ave SW and SW 99th Street, near Dubsea Coffee:

Anybody care to inquire as to why the baby was in the car alone? Seems to me like a couple people should have gone to jail, I love how he just kind of casually walks up to his car as it is being stolen with his child inside,
